CASE SUMMARY:
In this unpublished per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's denial of plaintiff s motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, new trial, or additur, in this case for first party benefits.

The court also found no abuse of discretion in the trial court's admission of certain testimony of physicians and evidence revealing the existence of an unrelated lawsuit that plaintiff had filed against his employer, presumably for a wage claim. Finally, the trial court held that plaintiff was entitled to statutory interest on any allowable expense claim that was not timely paid by defendant
